Reign of Darkness (complete)

Umm...the shadows are gone.
So there really is no "Final battle" until the sequel.

W-[i]WHAT?[/b] Sorry for capitals, but they are required at this point in time. This ruins my whole plans of everything. Now what am I supposed to do ...?

NO NO NO! No, you've got it all wrong! They're going to-- hmmm... you have to wanna know.

[spoiler]The shadows aren't gone!! Well, actually, they are, but Joseph teamed up with Smithal, the guy who made the shadows in the first place, and now they're going to bring the shadows back stronger than ever! There has to be a final battle, or else all the plans everyone has made will go down the drain and get eaten by sewer rats! And I need to do something before then, or else Raven will end up with a bajillion dollar bounty on her head by the sequel! ...ACK! *Runs off to figure out a way to get Raven in Oklahoma*[/spoiler]

We still have ten-twenty pages to go before this is over! We aren't doing the sequel yet!

And StolenHearts, hmmm... how exactly are you planning on turning this upside down? It can't make other plans fail... but I'm up for something new and exciting!

And LaReina, we are in New York, in a hotel or Ballow's house or something, snoozing the night away whil Joseph plans to take over the world with Smithal. And uhh... yep.

**Hmm I was planning on making maribelle pregnant with a shadow o: but it could be half and half...I thought it would make the story kinda weird and cool at the same time. This shadow could help them O: and that could be where the chanting is coming from O: because the shadows wanted mari to lead everyone to them so they thought if they implanted a shadow inside her it would work but, it ends up major failure yessss????**

...


I never would've guessed. That WOULD make things interesting. Wow. Well, shyeah, I think that'd make things fun, but that's just me.

**xD you totally weren't expecting that! Man i have weird ideas o.o okay going to use this for the post XD*

Maribelle

after the party I was wide awake due to lower stomach pains, I cringed as they grew more noticeably. After a while I got up to get some pain medication, then i realized I didn't have any. I put some clothes on wincing trying to be careful, wondering what i could have done to make my stomach hurt so bad.

I tiptoed as quietly as i could out the door and walked down the hallway. I arrived outside the building and looked around for the nearest shop, I saw one across the street. Looking both ways I sped to the store, I barged through the doors my pain increasing.

Quickly I went up to the front counter.

"Do you have any pain medication?" I asked desperately, squeezing my eyes shut. The clerk went into the pharmacy part of the store telling me to follow.

"Here you go miss...are you alright?" He asked, I was now clenching my stomach. I shook my head and ran over to the drinks and got a bottle of water.

I gave him a ten telling him to keep the change and exited the store. I plopped myself down on the curb and popped two pills, gulping down the water.

I put my water down and let my head fall into my hands as i waited for the pain to at least lessen.

Mama? A voice in my head questioned. Suddenly a wave of realization fell over me, I was shaking uncontrollably now.

It's just shadows, they are trying to mess with my mind. I attempted to reassure myself, thinking about going back into the store. My pain had subsided enough that i could walk again, I decided to go back and get one thing.

The clerk looked surprised that i was back.

"Do you need something else miss?" He said getting ready to come help me.

"I do but, I can find it myself." I sighed. I headed to that fateful aisle, and grabbed a box. Leaving a five in front of the clerk and walking out of the store. Crossing the street a second time and approaching the hotel, walking through the doors.

The first thing i did was go into the bathroom, once i came out of the stall it said I'd have to wait. I chewed the inside of my cheek, sliding down the wall, with my eyes shut. I knew it was ready, oh how i knew. But, I was afraid to open my eyes.

Trembling, I opened my eyes and to my utter shock it was a positive sign. I burst into tears, throwing the test across the room. I tried to think but, i couldn't, I felt out of control. I composed myself enough to get to the hallways and sat down in front of our room's door.

"What am I going to do..." I whispered, getting a major headache.
----------------

DUN DUN DUNNN.
hahh maybe this will make you people write, well the people that havent been xD
me and my weird ideas, then again I am weird so...XD

Gary~~

After the encounter I didn't feel in the mood to party, for some odd reason I felt an evil in the air that killed my mood. So instead I climbed up on top of the hotel's roof and sat on the edge 950 feet in the air. Staring out at the city, I had my eyes set to the distance, as if searching for something invisible. Then suddenly it came, my vision quickly blurred, and the city sight disappeared, replaced by a large circular room.

In the center was man, he was hidden by a cloak that covered his whole body in black, he moved his hands and the room darkened, but not from lights turning off, but from them being covered by dark shadows. A barrage of foot steps then came into the room, and silhouettes were just visible in the darkened room, the lights again returned, and the group was still there, but all of them were suspended in mid air, hanging by ropes ten feet in the air. Those people tied, were the group.

Suddenly I shot upward from the vision, and as I did my balance broke and I was sent spiraling into the traffic below. Spinning like a top, I drilled through the air, the building mer blurs at my speed.The ground was in no rush to meet me though, the whole time I felt like I was in slow motion, heading to an enviable death I shut my eyes and waited. No thoughts were in my head, but I opened my eyes just in time to see the ground a yard from me, and shut them once more, and there flashed a single image, the familiar face of Kelly. And then I hit the ground, I could hear the ground crack and break under my, and my head dug deep into it.

But then I realized I felt it, I should have died on contact with the ground, but I was still alive, In great pain, and probably just alive, but alive still. And with that the pain doubled, and I felt myself slip into unconsciousness.

__________________________________________
Okay guys, I'm going to place Gary in a coma for a bit. there I will put in visions of the future, which you may tell me to put in, and when he awakes they have a guide to what to do from him when he wakes up.

I dove into the water Kelly right behind me.
We both giggled, and as Raven jumped in with us splashing our faces.
"Hey, where's Gary?" Asked Kelly.
"Dunno." I said.
"And everyone else? Like Mari and Joseph?" asked Raven.
I looked around me, seeing no signs of either of them.
Suddenly a wave of something hit me.
I squeezed my eyes shut, only to open them and still have the horrible emotion in my head.
God, no.
I felt my heart thudding in my chest.
"Kelly. Quick, go find Gary." I said panicked.
"Raven find out where the heck Joseph is." I said.
Then I got up and went into the house to find Mari.
I burst open her bedroom door to find her lying on the bed, her head held in her hands.
"Mari?" I said my voice barley a whisper.
She looked up at me and quickly wiped her tears.
"Mari. What's wrong?" I asked.
"N-Nothing." she choked out.
I sighed, and sat down next to her.
"Mari? Y-You..." I said trying to finish the sentence.
"Pregnant?" she said knowing I already knew.
I nodded my head.
"How?" I asked.

Wait, what happened to Damien? He's missing out on all the fun! And Maribelle... *snorts because I'm a nerd and don't really giggle often* What's going to happen??!?

-Joseph-

"Place your hands on this globe, Joseph," Smithal said, his voice slippery as oil. "And concentrate. Concentrate on creating. That's all these creations are. They are pure mental energy, given substance. Concentrate. Concentrate. Concentrate..."

Joseph had never done anything like this before. It was exhausting. Hours passed. Darkness was created. Every evil thought, every sad or angry feeling he had ever felt rushed through him, his mind. His worst memories flowed through his hands. His hate raged through him. But this wasn't his own power. This wasn't his doing. It was Smithal, drawing out all those emotions, memories, everything, into the crystal globe.

The globe grew. It casted a light that was also dark at the same time.

It was too powerful.

Joseph flew backwards out the window, hoping against all hope that he wouldn't die.



-Raven-

I never really did what other people told me to do unless it was urgent. This was one of those times. But I had no leads as to where to look, no idea what kind of trouble he could be in, and was really wondering how the twins were doing, since no one had spoken to them since they defeated the dude who made the shadows. And what about that guy, what's-his-name? Damien? Things were falling apart for us, but being rebuilt for everyone else. I supposed our happiness, and possibly sanity, were a small price to pay for the world.

Logic. Reason. I thought to myself as I jogged down the street. Okay, let's see. The geek is probably at some computer store, gaping at the latest video game. But I need a plan B--

My thoughts were caught off by an icy chill flowing through the air. It was a warm day otherwise. Suddenly it became hard to breath. I guessed I had become so accustomed to shadows being gone that now seemed--

No. No, that's not possible! It can't be... what's that?

I looked above a building to see a thick layer of black smoke surround the roof, the sides, the ground. I couldn't breath. They were what I had dreaded. Joseph didn't matter now. I had to get out of here.

Until he came falling out the window.

What the heck?

"I have no idea." she whispered her breathing heavy.
I looked at her.
Then all of a sudden I screamed.
Mari's eyes wandered over to me.
"Julie!" she said panicing.
I ignored her, the pain too much to handle.
I fell to the ground, sobbing.
"J-Julie! What's wrong?!" she asked getting on her knees next to me.
The emotions. The darkness.
Everything.
It was too painful too strong.
I looked at her tear streaked face.
I had to do something, I tried to relax but the headache, it was horrible.
The worst yet.
I ignored her and got up even thought it hurt incredibly bad.
I ran outside, to find Joseph standing, Raven a few feet away from him gaping in horror, and a building smoking.
I looked around frantically, as the pain began to increase.
That's when it hit me, the dark thoughts were coming from Joseph.
But there was something else...something even stronger then him.
But what was it?
Then I heard footsteps and looked up to see Smithal grinning.
He sent something to me, and I collapsed onto the floor, as the world went black.
---------

We could do something like we "kill" them, but they aren't really dead. *Shurgs*

**Yeah whatever happened to Damien D;**

Maribelle

I followed Julie out clutching my stomach, while running i sent a thought to her.

Tell nobody Julie. I already slowed them down enough and this would make it even worse. When we came to a stop I spotted Smithal, He was the one who told the shadows. Then I realized Julie had fallen to the ground, I ran to her side.

"We need to go!" I shouted, a cloud of breath coming out. It was so unbelievably cold, this was terrible, worse then its ever been before.

We could not fight now, especially not me. I rushed to a car and after watching Damien do it, I hot wired a black suburban. Honking I drove over to them, motioning for them to get in.

We were going to lose friends along the way, that much i knew. Joseph wasn't coming with us, his thoughts had a dark aura about them. Gary was in a coma, Julia was passed out or who knows.

"What are we going to do?" I whispered. Every emotion possible rippling through my body.

Raven got Julie into the car and I got out to help her with Gary and eventually we got him too.

Everyone else piled in and we were off to who knows where.

A sigh escaped my lips.

-Joseph-

"What... What've I done?" Joseph whispered to the wind. "Th-they left... without me. They don't care. --What am I saying? It's my fault! I've betrayed them! I helped create more shadows!"

"Shut up, Joseph," Smithal said, his voice taking on a powerful tinge. "You didn't betray your friends. They were never your friends in the first place. Wouldn't a friend try to keep you with them? Wouldn't a friend try to bring you back to their side? None of them care what happens to you. None of them. You know that, right?"

Joseph bit his lip and looked away so Smithal couldn't see his sign of weakness. It made sense; It was tempting; Smithal always seemed to find a way to make sense... Joseph nodded his head slowly.

"They never wanted to help you. They never wanted your companionship. All they wanted were your powers. The powers I had given you. I care, Joseph."

"You can't talk to me like a little kid and expect me to respect you," Joseph said through clenched teeth. Hate filled his very soul, for both sides now. This was so confusing...

"Of course, of course," Smithal chuckled. "But I just wanted to make sure you weren't on the fence, Joseph. That you know which side you're on."

After a pause, Joseph sighed heavily. He had gone too far. But the power...
"You're side, Smithal. I'm on your side."



-Kelly-

"You feeling well enough to drive, Mari? You look a little sick," I asked hesitantly.

"I'm fine. But where are we going?"

"Train station!" Raven called out with surprising force. "We've gone everywhere by everything but a train. Wherever we're headed, we are going there on a train!"

I laughed. Not often was laughing caused by Raven. But, where was Joseph?

"Hey, have you seen Joe?" I asked Raven who sat behind me.

After a long pause she replied. "If you mean Joseph, I don't want to talk about him."

"What? Why not?" I asked surprised. What was going on?

"He... I mean, Joseph..." she forced out the words, and I could thee she was trying to keep her temper hidden inside. She sighed and old me, "He joined forces with Smithal."

I couldn't seem to wrap my brain around that. I mean, Joseph wouldn't do that to us... would he?

"We need to get to a hospital," Ballow broke my train of thought. "Gary's not waking up!"


******************************************

Ohmigosh, that is funny. We didn't even get Gary into a hospital! Hahaha! Oh, sorry. Here.

Guys, shouldn't we be bringing Gary to a hospital?

He is in a comma.

-Raven-

Okay, going somewhere else, away from here, would have to wait. Gary was alive but out cold, and, by the looks of it, not planning of waking up for a good long time.

Oh joy.

We (actually, I took a nap in the car and Kelly let me in on everything later, and Mari stayed in the car too) rushed Gary to the ER, and the doctor, after forever, said that Gary was in a coma.

Oh goody.

So there I was, sitting on a park bench, watching kids on a playground, bored out of my mind.

Whoopie.

Suddenly I heard a really loud buzz, and turned to see Maribelle pull out a cell phone from her pocket and say, "Hello? Damien??"

*************************

Here's a spot for ya, Rei! I guess. Sort of. Maybe. I don't know. Or it could be some guy named Damion trying to order a pizza. Whichever.

I won't be able to post until Wednesday, possibly Thursday. Hopefully, ya'll will be able to Bye bye for now!
